World of Warcraft : Classic

Darkshore is a long strip of coast on the northwestern part of Kalimdor. It is known for its shadowed woods and rocky beaches, littered with ancient ruins and mountainside caves. It is sheltered to the east by mountains, which protect the wildlife in Darkshore from most the taint of the Felwood. Unfortunately the taint has spread into Darkshore via the various rivers flowing through the zone from their sources in Felwood; bringing the taint with them which is turning the land grey and dead. Between the mountains and the beach lies a forest consisting mainly of evergreens. To the south, the forest thickens and the mountains recede, leading into the deep wilderness of Ashenvale. The night elves of Teldrassil claim the shore as part of their new kingdom, and sentinels patrol the road from the port of Auberdine towards Ashenvale to the south. Rains, winds and rocky beaches make the place inhospitable. Old night elf ruins stand crumbling on the cliffs, and murlocs and naga lurk within.

Darkshore is a long coastal region in northwestern Kalimdor, bordered by mountains to the east that shield it from Felwood’s corruption. However, rivers from Felwood carry taint into Darkshore, turning the land grey and lifeless, and driving wildlife and furbolgs into a furious madness. The area features dense evergreen forests, which grow thicker to the south where the mountains fade, blending into the deep, untamed wilds of Ashenvale.
